Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x

be the kg of coffee of brand A in the mix and

y

be the kg of coffee of brand B in the mix.

The total kg must be

50

.

x

+

y

=

50

The cost per kg of the mix must br

$

7.20

. For this, the total cost of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

, so the total cost per kg of the mix will be

6

x

+

8

y

50

.

6

x

+

8

y

50

=

7.20

Now that we have our two equations, we can solve.

6

x

+

8

y

=

7.20

⋅

50

6

x

+

8

y

=

360

From the first equation, we can multiply both sides by

6

to get:

6

x

+

6

y

=

300

Subtracting, we get:

2

y

=

60

y

=

30

Thus, we need

30

kg of brand B in our mix. This means that

50

−

30

=

20

kg will be of brand A.

<h3>6w^2 +8w +4 is the simplified expression</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

We have to simplify

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

We can simplify the above expression by combining the like terms

Like terms are terms that has same variable with same exponent and same or different coefficient

From given,

w^2 + 7w^2 + 8w -5+9-2w^2

Group the like terms

w^2 + 7w^2 -2w^2 + 8w - 5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ like\ terms\\\\6w^2 +8w -5+9\\\\Combine\ the\ constants\\\\6w^2 +8w +4

Thus the given expression is simplified

What is equivalent to the square root of -27
lions [1.4K]
For the square root of a negative number, you would have to get into imaginary numbers. If you haven't learned about it yet, then the answer would be no real solutions. But if you have, here's how to solve it:

First, identify that 9 x 3 = 27. To after taking the square root, you will get 3√3 (Since the square root of 9 is 3 and there's no square root of 3, so leave it in the √)

However, since it is a negative number, you will have to include the letter i in the answer. i represents the imaginary part of it since you can't have a negative number in the square root.

So your answer will look like 3i√3.
